Huang Si was thrown out the back door into the street.
He was on his back for a while before he slowly rolled over, face up and slowed down for a little over half an hour before he slowly got up and walked home with difficulty, just entering the yard and landing head first on the ground.
Song Lian heard the commotion and came out of the house. When she saw a man lying in the courtyard, she was terrified and came up to see him with trepidation.
“It’s …… me.”
Huang Si made a voice with difficulty.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Song Lian exclaimed, scrambling down to help him, touching the wound on his body and causing Huang Si to huff in pain, “Slowly, slowly.”
“What the hell is wrong with you?”
Song Lian carried a sobbing voice.
Where did Huang Si know what was wrong?
Not only had he been beaten up, but his silver ingots had been searched and he had been ordered not to go to the gambling house in future.
He thought about it all the way, but he couldn’t remember why he had ended up in this situation. Even if the people were jealous of the two silver ingots he had, they would have taken them back, not beaten him to death.
Song Lian helped him into the house and ran to call the doctor.
The doctor looked at him, left a prescription and told her to go and get some medicine.
Song Lian took the silver and went to get three days’ worth of medicine, decocted a pair and told him to drink it, sitting on the edge of the bed and wiping her tears.
“No …… matter, I …… am …… very …… fast …… on …… well.”
Every word Huang Si said hurt badly.
“There is not much silver left in the house, what will we do in the future?”
“You …… don’t …… be afraid, I …… have …… since …… …… done …… it.”
……
Gu Yi and Song Wan Yue went to the restaurant.
“Young master, Miss Song.”
Shopkeeper Wei was so happy that he couldn’t close his mouth.
The business of the hot pot was getting hotter by the day, and the amount of silver in the account was rising.
“The weather is fine now, but when it gets colder, the customers will freeze, so I’m thinking of turning the entire ground floor hall into a hot pot so the customers don’t have to wait.”
“No, the off-peak season for hotpot is particularly obvious, in summer, there are very few people eating it, and then you still have to point to the stir-fry, if you change it all, you lose this part of the guests, it will be difficult for you to pull people back in the future.”
Song Wangyue objected.
Boss Wei had also considered this issue, but in summer, the restaurant was supposed to be off-season, it didn’t have much impact.
He was about to advise again, when Gu Yi made the decision, “Listen to the little girl, no change, you think of other ways.”
Boss Wei could only respond, and casually asked, “Young master, Miss Song, why are you free to come over today?”
Gu Yi gave him a sidelong glance, “What, I can’t come to this restaurant?”
“No, no, I ……”
“What isn’t it, it’s so busy outside, you should do what you need to do, don’t mind us.”
Wei the shopkeeper hurriedly retreated.
As the door closed and his footsteps walked away, Gu Yi excitedly extended his hand towards Song Wan Yue, “Quickly, quickly, little girl, let me count those silver tickets.”
Song Wangyue, ……
Song Wangyue took the silver tickets out and placed them on the table.
Gu Yi counted them carefully, “One.”
Put the silver ticket on the table.
“Two.”
Put the silver ticket on the other side.
“Three.”
Placing the silver ticket on the first
“Four.”
Put the silver ticket on the second one.
Song Wangyue raised her eyebrows.
After carefully counting them, Gu Yi pushed the pile with an extra silver ticket in front of Song Wan Yue, “Little girl, this is yours.”
He also picked up the rest to put on himself, “This is mine.”
Song Wangyue smiled, “No, right? Young Master Gu, there are still more than three thousand taels of mine in here.”
Gu Yi slapped his head, “I forgot, I’ll give you three, no four more.”
The ones given in the gambling house were silver tickets of a thousand taels, four of them would be four thousand taels.
Song Wangyue reached over, “I’ll take it myself.”
Gu Yi obediently handed the silver tickets to her, Song Wan Yue took them all and put them together with her own pile, using lai to control lai, “It was you who said to share half, I didn’t say that, these are all my winnings, naturally they are all mine.”
Gu Yi,……
The little four at the door heard it clearly and immediately covered the silver ingots he had just gotten tightly, not forgetting to give a secret signal to the six boys in the distance, who moved in unison with him and put their share of the silver ingots tightly away.
……
Three days later, when Huang Si was feeling better, Song Lian took out all the silver she had at home and wanted to buy him medicine, but was stopped by Huang Si.
“You go and call big brother to come over.”
If it were in the past, Song Lian would have gone, after all, the family had silver, and did not care about that little bit. But now that Huang Si was injured like this, the family was running out of money to even eat.
“What’s the point of calling him over? He can’t help with anything but food and drink.”
“Go when you’re told to, I have something to ask big brother for help.”
Song Lian took the money and hired a carriage to go home.
As soon as she entered the yard, she was shocked to see her lazy old mother and big brother peeling corn.
“Mother, big brother, you ……”
“You’re back.”
Song Ming sat unmoving.
But Song Gua’s stood up in a misty voice, turned her little feet over and pulled her into the house, “Lian’er I’ll tell you, that broom ……”
“Ahem ……”
Song Ming coughed twice.
Song Gua was so frightened that she hurriedly swallowed the words that followed, “Your sister-in-law she’s crazy, she actually tried to kill me and your big brother.”
“What?”
Song Lian couldn’t believe it.
“It’s true, she cut all over your big brother’s body, and if your brother hadn’t begged for mercy so quickly, you would have come back today to see our corpses.”
“How could this happen, she, she, she ……”
Song Lian didn’t dare to imagine.
Song Gua clutched her hand, “Lian’er, mother wants to go up to your place for a while.”
“Mother, I’m afraid I can’t. Huang Si was beaten up and kicked out by the gambling house, and is still lying in bed. I came back today to call my elder brother, Huang Si is looking for him for something.”
“How can that be?”
Song Gua only felt a thunderbolt strike her head; she had lived a life worse than death these past few days, working every day and doing more than she had done in the past year. She and Song Ming had both peeled two pockets of corn kernels.
She looked forward to Song Lian’s return every day and followed her for a few days.
“Mother, I won’t give you much more to say, I have to go back and cook.”
Song Lian came out of the house, “Big brother, Huang Si wants you to go, he says he has something for you.”
Song Ming got up and went back inside, took the one tael of silver given by Huang Si out and gave it to her, “This is what he gave me last time, I didn’t get things done, so I’ll give it back to you. You can tell him that they already know about it and the hotpot base has gone down the drain. And ah, from now on, your sister-in-law and I will live a good life and won’t follow him in his crooked ways anymore.”
“What’s going on?”
Song Ming waved his hand, “Don’t ask, just go back and tell him so.”
Song Lian went back home and told Huang Si exactly what Song Ming had said.
After hearing this, Huang Si pounded his fist on the bed, “It must be them, they’re the ones who did this to me!”
